I have been using WIDI Uhost from you for many months. I have a question, maybe you can help me. Well, on a Windows 10 computer, WIDI recently started showing up immediately in midi programs however, in Windows 11 it must be found by the Bluetooth LE Explorer program and then connected via another program, e.g. MIDIberry - this is not a problem for me, but I noticed that if WIDI does not receive a signal for about 2 minutes, it then delays the sending of the next signal - as if it goes to rest, and therefore the next signal is delayed. It seems like some sort of power saver is on, but I don't know what to do with it. Maybe there is a chance that you will help.

@@piotrb7934 I guess you have to look into the power saving mode of your PC. Also, you might wanna try using Korg BLE MIDI driver as explained in the online start guide: www.cme-pro.com/widi-uhost-start-guide-bluetooth-midi-usb-host/#tve-jump-1834ac15cc6 If you still encounter challenges, please do reach out to us via www.cme-pro.com/support/#tve-jump-183922d36ae Hope this helps 🙏

Hi , I wanna send sound from my seaboard (that as already bluetooth connection ) to my groovebox to record sound from my seaboard directly to my groove box, will that work . MY seaboard only have a midi out

[@CMEPro]

@@shaynegopro8354 MIDI and audio are two different things. You cannot send sound over a MIDI connection. You can control the sound of one device via MIDI. Hope this helps.

Is the cable of the WIDI Master long enough to work as IN/OUT on both sides of a U6MIDI Pro, or do I need the Jack?

[@CMEPro]

You can better work with the WIDI Jack. If you only want to use the MIDI Out, you can use WIDI Master with only the large main adapter as standalone 😊👍

Hello CME! :) I'm trying to use two WIDI Jacks with a LuminiteFX Graviton M2 MIDI controller. They recently updated their firmware to provide "central" mode for Bluetooth MIDI and while I can connect to the two WIDI Jacks when using central mode, they do not seem to respond to MIDI messages. Both WIDI Jacks have the static, darker blue LED on to indicate they're connected, but don't flicker in response to MIDI messages. I'm trying to use each of them to send MIDI to MIDI In inputs on two different devices. In 'peripheral' mode (on the Graviton) a single WIDI Jack works fine. It autoconnects to the Graviton and shows the brighter, static light blue LED which flickers in response to MIDI messages, as expected. I've updated firmware on the WIDI Jacks and also tried to set up a group in the app, but it seems a 'central' WIDI jack is required to make this work, and I'm trying to make the Graviton act as the central host. Any suggestions to get this working, or am I misunderstanding what these gizmos can do? Thank you! :)

[@CMEPro]

@@mirthkon if you want to set the M2 as a central, it must have the ability to connect to multiple Bluetooth MIDI devices. This is offered by WIDI, but I am not sure if the M2 can do that. In any way, if you do not set your WIDI devices to ‘force peripheral’ mode, they are likely pairing to each other instead of your M2. So, the central role, requires also the ability to configure connections like WIDI does. You must figure this out at the M2 side, the WIDI devices are not the issue. If you need personal assistance, feel welcome to reach out via www.cme-pro.com/support/#tve-jump-183922d36ae Or drop a post in facebook.com/groups/cmeprofans Hope this helps 😊👍

@@CMEPro Thanks so much for the swift reply! Yes, the M2--in theory--recently added Central mode specifically for connecting to multiple Bluetooth devices, and I am able to connect to multiple WIDI Jacks but for some reason they don't actually respond to incoming MIDI messages. I also have the WIDI Bud and was able to create a group using it as "Central" and plugged it into the M2's USB Host port and it works great, but obviously this isn't relying on the M2's native Bluetooth support now, which is ok but ideally I could forgo this method. Something about the M2's central mode I guess, which is still quite new. Perhaps I'm still misunderstanding, but is it true that WIDI Jacks in Peripheral mode will only pair with another WIDI product in Central mode? Not 3rd party? Your reply suggests 3rd party should work... but afaik the M2's central mode doesn't have much re: configuration options. Anyways, I'll follow up via your support channel as needed, already getting too long here! :D Thanks again!

@@mirthkon WIDI devices can connect to 3rd party devices as a central. That should not be an issue on the WIDI side. I think when you contact our support, the internal expert can assist you in getting it right.

Purchased this device. Question Can I connect it to an IConnect Midi2+ and control two synth connected to the additional Midi out 2 and the USB since the I connect routes from din to USB? Trying not to buy a Widi for every keyboard

[@CMEPro]

WIDI can transmit MIDI. So, if you plug it into a router, you can route as you like. The routing depends on your hardware and is not related to WIDI. For instance we offer the WIDI Thru6 that allows wired and wireless input and 5 thru ports as a splitter: www.cme-pro.com/widi-thru6-bluetooth-midi-thru-box-splitter/ Also we offer the U6MIDI Pro, that can route, filter and map your MIDI messages. I’ve seen many community members plug in a WIDI Master to add wireless capabilities: www.cme-pro.com/u6-midi-pro-usb-midi-interface-routing-filter/ Feel welcome to opt-in on the shared knowledge of the community: facebook.com/groups/cmeprofans

U can use this to spy on people btw

[@CMEPro]

Yes. If you take the electronics out of a WIDI Master and put in a double lens, you can 🔭 watch the stars at night too 😎👌
